Hi all,What are some common terms/ways when seeking funding/investors where I own the land in a desirable area and want to have on the land MFH? 

The Rub:Currently I do not have the down payment, next year or the following, absolutely.Possible fixes:1) See if a commercial lender will finance a down payment, while I pay the owner for the next ten years or until a can save enough for a proper downpayment, all the while paying the down payment too. 2) Find a rich uncle, who is not afraid of the numbers.3) Find partners.Legality: Is it legal to ask for a lender to fund the downpayment?

While talking about needs for funding, he mentioned that local bank that he uses.

Has anyone looked at buying RE via a self directed IRA vs cashing out the IRA, paying the penalty and putting funds into a business account and having full control of funds Immediately?

The headache of taking over a property especially smaller fix and flips isn't what the lender is signing up for if they actually fund your deals. 

Since I just purchased a home in GA, I don't have much capital available, but could possibly do up to 20k down on a buy and hold but I would rather keep my funds and look into hard money lenders or distressed properties that I could buy cash and sit on and do most of the rehab myself.

How can I get a contract with a $4bln fund?

Need help finding Hard Money - to fund the Purchase and Rehab. 

I thought about buying a duplex or multi-unit in the Fresno'Clovis area but most seemed to be located in areas that were less desirable.

We are also considering using the funds to buy some gold as a hedge.My understanding is that I can deduct 100% of the interest from Loan A, and Loan B as long as I keep the funds I received from Loan B separate from our personal funds and only use them for other investing activity, is that right?
